When pasting information into the description or requirements fields from another application such as MS-Word, there can be formatting codes embedded in the text that may not render well when viewed in any or all browsers.
Editor Toolbars
On the Editor Toolbar there are three paste options available in the description and requirements fields to handle these circumstances.
Paste from MS-Word Button
- This technique will remove extraneous formatting that was added by MS-Word, but retain formatting that can be successfully displayed in a browser.
Paste as Plain Text
- This technique will remove ALL formatting so you will have to apply formatting to the pasted text.
Paste (Also Control + V)
- This technique will add the text and ALL formatting, but this may not render well in a specific browser.
When in doubt, paste as plain text and apply some simple formatting.
